Oh artie, im sorry. My question would be, not why do you stay married, but how do you not slap him silly x times a day?!

I think my problem is, my mother was the uh unreasonable one in the house, so i have much higher expectations of men, since my dad was sooo good at "keeping the peace", however artificially. So for me to have to deal with raw male ego? Oh no - one step off the butterfly path and i can't handle it.
